'A language is "Unicode ready" if' sounds like putting the cart
before the horse. Big Brother Unicode doesn't rule the world, it is
only meant to serve that part of the world that uses computers. It
would be more accurate to say that Unicode is ready for a language
when it contains all the characters in that language's writing system(s).
